When I first got my phone it used to detect which village I was in not just the city. I had to do a factory reset and now it's stopped detecting the villages. Why? and can I get it back? If so how?
Please help.
Maybe because of the time-bug.

enable htc location services on your phone
All the location bits are enabled and as far as I know and can tell all are working the way they should.
ive put on this fix but my weather is still only showing the city and not the village like it used too.
open up quickgps and update satellite position
ive done that as well but nothing seems to be working.

i too was having this problem till today and now it sort of seems to be solved:
at this point i have done everything (just like you) mentioned in the thread. my weather panel shows my location as my state rather than my city!
case 1:
i further opened up the clock (by tapping on the flip clock on the home tab) and saw only 1 clock. it was called 'my location' and had everything set up correctly. my current location is mumbai. so i explicitly added another clock (mumbai) by doing add city. now i have two clocks - 'my location' and 'mumbai'. but the interesting thing is that the second clock (mumbai) has a local written in brackets next to it. it seems that HERE the phone detected mumbai as my local city. now when i do a weather update i get 2 updates - one for each of my clocks (both sets of information are identical because both locations are identical!). and since my mumbai clock is selected as primary, i also see mumbai on the flip clock as my location (and i suppose the corresponding weather data, i really cant differentiate).
case 2:
when i have only one clock 'my location', and i do a weather update, the weather panel updates the 'my location' tag to my state's name which (given the size of my state) is of no help at all. this, however, did not happen in the case described above. the 'my location' remained the same.
i wonder if the first method solves your problem. its not really any solution at all. its stupid that the phone should detect my location in the clock program but not on the weather update panel. also i tested gps reception while all this was going on. i had google maps running in the back with 6-8 satellites locked when i did my weather updates in both cases. that didnt help. plus, like i said before as well, i had htc locaton services enabled and updated satellite data via google maps.
its one of those things that i really cant figure out and so have stopped bothering. where i live, the weather hardly changes anyway...
Hi,
same probleme here....
It only tells me the State, not the Village
nothing helps.....
HTC Support told me to flash and reset the device twice (HaHa Ive done this before)
Ive had this problem for a few months now, constant emails to HTC gets either there is no known problem or we are currently working to resolve the issue. Like they will actually care now wp7 is out.
Its a joke, first of all the weather stopped working an now the clock doesnt work as it should, slowly but surly things are stopping functioning correctly, wheres my old nokia 6680.
Rant over.
yeah see my problem wit the reset is that seems to have been when my problem started. i have the 2 clocks and the two weather pages but both say peterborough (city) when one used to say peterborough and the other used to change and say yaxley (village)
The issue with my location showing only state weather instead of village weather started with the winter time change bug.
The patch posted above ( see link ) solved the time problem but not the weather location problem. In another thread it was said HTC will issue a fix in one week, but this is now 4 weeks ago and still no patch issued.
If they don't solve this problem this was my last HTC. phone .........
Same problem for me in Italy with hd2. It's one week that the service doesn't work. It shows me Lombardia (region) instead Milano (city)...

ho notato che dipende dalla località dove ti trovi. Dove abito funziona, ma in alcuni paesi mi esce scritto 'italy' come location!
Ma già da qualche tempo...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I noticed that depends on the location where you are. Where I live it works, but in some countries I get says 'Italy' as a location!
But for some time ...
HTC Support now told me to took a Video with a camera, whowing the Problem on HD2 (also wan't a Video from my Reset Operation )
What are they thinking, I'm so stupid that I can't to a reset on my HD2?
now one week after uploading the video no response from support. I wrote them again yesterday, maybe they'll answer this week....

Has anyone else had any problems with the HTc weather app displaying "No weather data available"?...
I've had this on every ROM i have switched between. And on a recent flash of legendroid it had been working for a few days before mysteriously stopping; so i know the data is out there....
Has anyone else had similar problems or know of any workarounds..?
Never ever had this problem.
I have asked this same question 2 or 3 times over the last few months and not had an answer. It works well everywhere I go but never when I am within about 3 miles of my home, though it once showed me the weather for my home town.
yes, i have had this problem too,,, but it normally clears after a roboot
yeah, i've had this issue since i got my hero last year. when set to current location, it shows weather everywhere except my house..weather bug is a good alternative on the market though.
Likewise. I've never had it work when set to current location, so I added my home town to the presets & just use that - no problems. It's obviously not sourcing the weather data that is the problem, but something specific to the coding of how current location is handled.
Nice to see that its not just me then...my problem was that my hometown isn't listed on the app, which made the fact that it was working to begin even more wierd.
On my 1.5 standard ROM it sometimes wouldn't pick up the weather, I found unchecking the "automatically get weather" box and re-checking it, forced it to update the location and weather, which most of the time worked.
Since I've gone up to VillainRom 5.2 I've had no issues with this.
Hello all,
I'm having a problem with the click on my HD2.
It is a Portuguese Rom.
It's always one hour before! I tried to change the time and settings to GMT Lisbon/London, and goes fine. When I connect to the internet, and update some stuff, especially the weather, the GMT goes back to Casablanca.... meaning, 1 hour before!
I tried to change the setting in Manilla settings with now sucess.
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance
I also had this problem some weeks ago... I corrected it by setting in the data connetion settings the option "sync time with internet" in sense settings.
Also in the start menu I had an app/button which was called "Carrier Time". It seems like it syncs it with the carrier or cell im logged in or something like that.
Are you using "My location" feature?

Hello,
Thank you for your answer. Yes i'm using my location.
I think I already got it. It's the sync time with the internet. I turned it off.
I think everything is ok now.
Thank you very much.
Time/Location Problem
Hope this is the right place for this question - I have a Telstra HD2 and live in Sydney. However, whenever I do a soft reset/hard reset the default location for time, etc reverts to Brisbane, which is in another state. Creates problems with time, especially daylight saving. I have tried changing all the usual options but with no success.
Does anyone know of any registry setting, etc that might apply. This is my second HD2 (previous one had a GPS problem and was exchanged for a new one - and still the same problem. I also noticed the demo HD2 in the Telstra store today was set to Brisbane as the default location (again, the shop is in Sydney).
Any help???

As suggested above turn of sync internet time and set your time zone manually to Sydney. If you hard reset your phone you will have to this procedure again. Soft resets are fine!

Thanks for the advice, I had tried the above, but with no success. However, I had also posted on the Forum for the Telstra HD2 9193 version and received the answer below from Tmorgan4 which seems to have fixed the problem so I am quoting it here for the benefit of anyone else who might have a similar problem. There are so many places that can cause a problem, the trick is to find the correct one.
Tmorgan 4 says: "I think I used to fix it via Settings Page - All Settings (down bottom right) - Personal - Phone. Under that is a GSM/UMTS Services Tab. Under Time Syncronization disable it."

The problem is there are three ways to sync the time on the HD2:
1) Sync with Internet
2) Sync with telecom provider
3) Sync with Activesync
The first two options use location. If your location is incorrectly determined, disable the location service and set your location manually.
It is my experience the Telco Provider time is not so reliable
Yesterday My provider insisted it was 6:05 when actually it was 10:25.... (I now Disabled it)
Internet time / Activesync time are more reliable, if your location is correct.
Disable location service if the phone determines your location wrong.
I do not know, but I can imagine syncing through Activesync can cause problems if your computer is in a different timezone as your phone (eg, computer has London as location and phone has Amsterdam as location)
Concluding:
Four settings can influence time on your phone: Activesync, Internet Time, Telco Provider and Location services.

This post fixed my incorrect time setting issue so BIG thanks for posting it, and not forgetting thanks to Tmorgan n' all
so thanks. It worked for me
Funny thing! cause i turned of "sync with internet" and used option to "automaticly decline location service" and yet, my "hour" seems to be changing RANDOMLY.. sometimes one hour ahead, sometimes two! Which is pretty nasty, cause i may have troubles waking up at the specific hour for work
new problem !!!!
hi, i have a big problem regarding the time changing , my htc hd2 goes 1 hour in front every time i make a restart , please help
I am from the UK
Running energy rom
Internet updates the time correctly but the get carrier time sends it forward one hour. It also keeps randomly going forward one hour whenever it wants! Driving me MAD
massive troubles with time in all Custom ROMs
What is the exectly problem with the time bug
I also use Energy ROM from 19.11.2010 and my time is now 3 hours ago
I disabled the 2 timesync (Provider, Network) but still have the issue
SHould I also turn of AGPS or localisation?
is there a CAB to fix that?

Afte reading these two threads and trying out the cabs and tips...... ITS WORKED

So, I've noticed other people have said they've had reboots ever since they flashed the new/one of the new radio versions, and I've had the same problem; however, I'm not sure if it's due to that or my SetCPU profiles.
Anyways, to my question...I noticed every once in a while my location as far as weather on Sense goes will say that I'm in a city that is around 2 hours away from where I live, what do I do to fix this problem?
My baseband version says: 1.16.00.0402w_1, if that helps.

I've noticed the weather showing incorrect location as well. It does show my correct location via GPS but when loading the HTC weather application or another type it will show I'm in another city. I haven't figured out what the problem is. My first thought would be to go into "Manage Applications", then clear cache/data under whatever weather applications you're using.
Has anyone else been having problems with their location and 3G signal?
For instance, every time an app needs my location, it says "Unable to detect current location". and the weather widget just says "Current Location". I've tried all the basics including disabling and re-nabling automatic time zone, restarting the phone, updating PRL and Profile, etc. Checked the settings in the weather widget and some settings were unchecked, but checking them didnt make a difference. It doesnt matter if its on Wi-Fi or 3G. It cannot seem to find my location. After updating the PRL (and contacting Sprint), it was finally able to find my location, but now its stuck on that location, even with a refresh. I'm 30 miles from the location its showing (as I travel across town for work).
Also, my 3G signal randomly drops every hour or so. Sometimes it comes back on its own, and other times, it does not. I have to go into options and manually disable and re-enable it.
I have an appointment at the Sprint store on Saturday, but I was wondering if you guys have found any fixes that would help me to avoid getting a new phone.

lol man, I've got about 10 posts in viperrom thread about this same issue.
I don't have a (real) solution, but here's my take on it: My area was recently upgraded to 3G and this is the first sense rom I've used on those towers. For me, the problem has only been with Sense based widgets and apps. 4square, facebook, maps, everything else has no problem with my location (i always leave gps toggled on).
I go anywhere where the towers haven't been upgraded and BOOM, sense has my location within seconds. I think it has to do with the recent NV upgrades my area got and it not being fully completed.
For me to get correct location at home, I have to use wifi with home router, then use something that needs gps, then update the weather widget. That will normally hold it for a few hours.
Like I said, not a solution, but what I believe to be the cause of it. If I find a way of permanently fixing it, I'll let ya know.

Yeah, thats what Sprint told me when I called. That they recently upgraded the towers near my home. But across town where I work, it hasnt been upgraded, and its the same problem.
I do believe that has something to do with it though. Older versions of Sense didn't take the upgrade and thus arent having any problems.
Appreciate you keeping me in the loop!

Exactly. I'm hoping that a future OTA will take care of it. I've sent a few emails to HTC regarding the issue. I know it's nothing huge nor serious, but it's nice when it works properly.
Well, at least I know I'm not the only one then. I guess swapping the phone wouldn't do much good if its tower related.
I feel like taking it into the Sprint store, the employees would just re-do everything I've already done and tell me to come back if it happens again.
I'm with bernechad in hoping a software update will fix it.
More info on the connection issue
I just got off the phone with HTC. They did not have this issue in their database but do now. I sent them a link to this thread. They did not have a clue about what to do to fix it.
For whoever is keeping the lists of locations where this is a problem I'm in Georgetown, TX.
My main HTC 4x2 clock/weather widget does not seem to update the location properly. I'm not sure exactly the circumstances but sometimes I look down and it says "Current location" instead of the city I'm in, and the temperature is most certainly wrong (shows 84, when right now here in the Houston area it's about 56). I have the "Update my location in real time" setting checked, so not sure if it's a setting or what.
Anyone else seen similar issues or have any idea how to fix it?
Also I noticed turning off wifi helped, in that it updated to the proper weather, but still didn't change the city name and just says "Current location"
Same here. frustrating. Anyone figure this one out?
i just noticed that today as well, i manually set the city location on one of my apps and the rest corrected themselves. It's not just the HTC weather widget, it's all the location detection on the phone without using GPS
Has anyone figured this out yet? I'm in the St Louis, MO area and when the wifi is on it's continually showing Las Vegas, NV Odd If I turn wifi off and use GPS then it's always correct.

Not sure if this will work for you because I have the tmobile one s, but I think I have the answer, I turned of fast boot under power settings and when I rebooted, it had the correct location. This is the first time since I have had the phone.
I have the same problem with X920e (China version). Location is ok but weather is wrong. It also shows it being sunny at midnight
Only Google can fix it!
There is absolutely nothing that we can do to fix this, I live in Simi Valley, Ca. When I am connected to my work wifi, my phone thinks that I am in Cisco, Tx. The reason for this is somewhere along the line Google has decided that the router that I am connected to is in Cisco, so every time that it pings the router for my location that is where it thinks that I am. Turning off wifi and using GPS or Cellular Triangulation will make it correct every time. The only way for this to be fixed is for Google to update their router based locations.
